In the garden in front of the Shadow Cottage, the Elder of Shadows's body was connected to the ground below. Roger furrowed his brow as a large hole was carved into the chest of the Elder of Shadows, gashed open head-on.
Not a drop of blood was in his muscles, which shone with a sickly pallor; Roger could even see the cracks on the sternum.
During the battle with Kurokawa's master before, the Elder of Shadows had sustained some injuries as well, but those wounds quickly healed after he returned to the Shadow World.
However, even now, as he remained connected to the soil and power continuously flowed into the Elder of Shadows's body, there was no sign of recovery from the chest wound.
In fact, even in his wounded state, it didn't affect the Elder of Shadows's combat strength, but this abnormal behavior inevitably made Roger speculate a lot.
"Is it because the injuries are too severe, or is it because the power of Sword Master Cold Crow is too special?"
